This study found that CD45RO+ cells, a subtype of T lymphocytes, were notably reduced in the ovarian follicles of women with PCOS, which may contribute to the condition's pathogenesis.

This review discusses the multiple layers of environmental controls on hair stem cell homeostasis and suggests that targeting these layers could offer safer regenerative medicine therapies without directly using stem cells.

This review explores the novel roles of white adipose tissue in tissue homeostasis and regeneration, emphasizing its impact on epithelial, muscle, and immune tissues, and reports no new clinical results.

This article proposes criteria to differentiate between medicalization and over-medicalization, examining the consequences and ethical considerations of misidentifying medical issues, and suggests guideline questions to help draw clearer boundaries in medicine.

This study found that isotretinoin, a drug commonly used for acne, inhibits polyamine transport in Trypanosoma cruzi, leading to trypanocidal effects, and suggests its potential as a treatment for Chagas disease without affecting mammalian cell viability.

This review discusses the potential of three-dimensional printed mesoporous scaffolds for drug delivery applications, particularly for bone cells and tissues, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights similarities in the development of thymus and skin epidermis, reporting no new results; the authors emphasize shared molecular mechanisms despite different embryonic origins.

This study found that a 12-week supplementation with a combination of insulin sensitizing agents, antioxidants, and vitamins significantly improved menstrual cyclicity, acne, and hirsutism in women with PCOS, with additional weight loss benefits in obese subjects.

This review discusses the use of follicular unit extraction for hair restoration using body hair, reporting no new clinical findings, and highlights its potential for advanced baldness cases with limited scalp donor hair.

This study found that robotic training with the Ekso-GT significantly improved body representation and quality of life in spinal cord injury patients compared to conventional physical therapy.

This study found distinct gene expression patterns in the blood of alopecia areata patients, suggesting involvement of immune processes and new pathways like Wnt signaling and apoptosis in disease pathogenesis.

This study analyzed gene expression changes during the autumn coat color change in mountain hares and found conserved gene regulation with snowshoe hares, highlighting its role in seasonal camouflage adaptation.

This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

This study identified an association between the FTO gene and susceptibility to PCOS, providing the first genetic evidence linking PCOS to obesity.

This study found that fasting insulin levels are associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study suggests a weak association between male-pattern baldness and some coronary heart disease risk factors, but does not support it as a strong indicator of coronary risk.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcome (AAPPO), a new tool designed to measure and capture the symptoms and impacts of alopecia areata that matter most to patients.

This study found that experiencing childhood abuse is associated with higher BMI, but hair cortisol and cortisone do not mediate this relationship.

This study reports that Wise is expressed in specific patterns during the morphogenesis of chick embryos, particularly in regions associated with known signaling molecules like Wnt, Bmp, and Shh.

This article discusses the prevalence of hirsutism in women and highlights that many cases exhibit normal androgen levels, suggesting a need for broader diagnostic approaches.

This review highlights that the RNA modification N⁶-methyladenosine (m⁶A) plays a crucial role in regulating wound healing and tissue remodeling, with dysregulation contributing to complications in chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and burn injuries, through mechanisms like impaired angiogenesis and increased oxidative stress.

This article reviews clinical practice gaps in dermatology regarding the care of patients with hair disorders, including attitude, knowledge, and skill deficiencies, and reports no new results.

Obesity may worsen hair loss in men and increase hirsutism in overweight or obese individuals, with weight loss recommended for treatment.

This article discusses the perspectives of clinicians and patients on alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder with significant psychosocial impacts, highlighting the unpredictability and limited effectiveness of current treatments as well as the key unmet needs and gaps in care.

This study identified gene sets associated with Tourette Syndrome, implicating Ligand-gated Ion Channel Signaling, Lymphocytic, and Cell Adhesion and Trans-synaptic Signaling processes in the disorder's neurobiology.

This review discusses the use of follicular unit extraction for hair restoration, particularly body hair transplantation, and highlights its potential as an alternative donor source in advanced baldness cases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study explored postpartum body image and menstruation experiences among 11 UK mothers, identifying themes of body dissatisfaction and the stress of resumed menstruation, while highlighting the need for better healthcare support and the positive role of reframing body perceptions towards functionality.

This narrative review highlights that endurance, skill-oriented athletes, and physique-oriented competitors such as bodybuilders face accelerated degradation of fillers and botulinum neurotoxin due to elevated basal metabolic rates and other factors, and raised concerns about psychological conditions like body dysmorphic disorder in these populations.

This research introduces WomenCare, a web-based system using a machine learning model to predict PCOD risk by evaluating factors like age, BMI, and lifestyle habits; it aims to help women monitor their health but is not a substitute for a professional diagnosis.

In this study, researchers documented the first instance of alopecia in bats within the Puebla region, specifically affecting two Artibeus jamaicensis and one Choeronycteris mexicana, possibly linked to environmental stress from human activities interfering with their nutrition.
